[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thanks for the suggestions.  I had bought her one of those little electric trimmers and that led to part of an eyebrow getting shaved off. And it seems like eyebrows don’t review very fast.  She is resistant to the Tinkle razor, I had left her a pack. I think the idea of shaving is a bridge too far right now. The hairs are coarse and white, so I really don’t think electrolysis sis likely to be too successful.

I will call her hairdresser and see if she knows someone who does short appointments for threading or if she would be willing to help as an additional service. She figured out how to turn lavender chemo hair into a more fun purple shade. So she is definitely a problem solver.[/quote]

OP reporting back.

My mom’s hairdresser is 58, and she has been doing her hair for 20 years.  When I called we ended up chatting about how we are both starting to find random chin hairs too.  So I offered to send one of those magnifying mirrors with the really bright lights to the salon. So she could use it and help my mom look when she’s there.

The mirror sits in the little bathroom they have. This past week my mom went in and while she was waiting for her hair color to process (she is now platinum blond with mermaid colors underneath) she brought the mirror out into the main salon area.  This became a social event with all of the stylists/ customers gathered around.  My mom said it was really funny how many people whipped tweezers out of their purses since they say that can only see those hairs when they are in their cars. One lady said she misses the hotel magnifying mirrors from back when she travelled, but didn’t want to put one in her bathroom for fear she would overpluck.

This salon is tiny and definitely skews older.  I can just imagine the scene.  Anyway, they all walked away with fewer random hairs and felt less alone about having them.  I am going to count this as a win.
